The "switch", assuming it's a normal one, isn't a level-indicating sender, it's merely an on-or-off switch. So you don't need a gauge, just a light - then have a look at the normal wiring diagram for what you'll want to do to get it working. Basically, when there's enough coolant in, the switch is closed, current flows. When there's not enough, it's open, and current doesn't flow. Use that to switch a relay, which then operates the light.

many thanks.i take its earths to coolent level (1 each termanal) then a to warning light
and a live to other warning light??? many thanks
